There are plenty of inspiring and motivational Disney quotes for those times when you’re powering through a marathon like an Olympian while thousands of passionate fans cheer you on from the sidelines.

Or when you fall off the treadmill. It happens to the best of us. A lot. Thankfully, in those many moments of struggling to work on our fitness, we can find solace and understanding in the form of a perfect Disney quote.
